  1. I'd rather DCI get the cash than a specific corps.....
  2. A corps should start playing it, and then rick-roll the crowd. I'd be pleased.
  3. I personally love the music from the Bourne series. I'm pretty excited
  4. Drum Corps is one of the few things on this planet that can put you through hell, and make you want to come back and do it again and again, even when you're not allowed to anymore. In my experience 90% of drum corps sucks. Rehearsal, every-days, impossible licks, ankle-breaking drill, 178 degree weather, paired with the dreaded phrase, "Again." The other 10% makes it all worth it. Performing, crowds going wild, putting everything you have into that last performance. It's truly remarkable. anyways that's my 2 cents.
  5. Ok, let's get real here. The sole reason Hopkins is starting this corps is so he can test the waters. Uniform change? no problem. See if it works and apply it to WC cadets next season. experimental concepts? try 'em out with Cadets2. Think of it as a dress rehearsal But seriously having a hole filling entity mid-season is genius. Surf is already basically the Cadets stepping stone, so I do see this hurting them in some way. However "killing" surf is not gonna happen. Bob knows what he's doing over there 'Twill be interesting that's for sure.
  6. Like, not even of this earth. If i could hire them to play whenever I entered a room I would.
  7. Eh I think it can go either way. I think it was more of BD's book being harder than Cavies not executing well. They were incredible though.
  8. Yeah, I agree it's really hard to pick one. Especially with the difference of G and Bb in mind for sound. I'll do a recent version. Best sound - Crown 2009. Just a huge wall of rich sound. They definitely deserved the Ott that year. Best execution - Cavaliers 2004 #### that book is clean. The individual performance level is stellar.
  9. 1) Touche. I admit my contradictions and agree with your logic. (seriously feel like an idiot) 2) In my case uncomfortable and unnatural basically mean the same thing. (not uncomfortable as in pain). There was never a time where any instructor I've had told us to be in pain in that sense of discomfort, but more along the lines of being in an unnatural position should never feel right (comfortable). Also in the mental aspect, you should never be comfortable with your situation, always checking yourself (even if it does become "second nature"). IMO no matter how many times you repeat some of the concepts in marching it'll never feel natural. anyways sorry for being a d###### again.
  10. my point wasn't that straight leg causes injuries. It was that it's not natural. I remember being told time and time again, "If you're comfortable, you're wrong." Even "doing it right" feels unnatural.
